Hernandez-Llach was a graffiti artist known as “Reefa.” Police said they spotted him spray-painting a shuttered fast food restaurant earlier this month. He allegedly led police on a foot chase and ignored their orders to stop. Police said he was shocked with a Taser once in the chest and then showed signs of distress.

Hernandez-Llach was taken to a local hospital, where he died.

The Miami Herald (http://goo.gl/PrwQ4E ) reports that the city isn’t commenting on the lawsuit, but Martinez has previously said his officers acted appropriately.
